PrintIT Reseller - issue 117

PRINTITRESELLER.UK 3 Entries to the 2024 PrintIT Awards opened on May 1. The award categories will be judged by an independent panel of specialists handpicked by us based on their knowledge and experience of the marketplace. We’re delighted to invite you to meet the 2024 PrintIT Awards judging panel on page 22. One of the major developments this month was the news that Fujifilm is entering the UK market with a comprehensive range of office printers and MFPs and is collaborating with Aurora as its launch partner. PrintIT Reseller spoke to Andy Moffitt, CEO at Aurora and Gary Organ, Head of DT (Device Technology) UK at Fujifilm, about the OEM’s entry into the UK and the new partnership (page 29). Also in this issue, Penny Miles, Marketing Manager at UTAX (UK) Ltd, picks the work tools she uses every day and couldn’t do her job without (page 18). This month’s Q&A is with Frazer Keenan, Director, Vitale Digital, and PITR spent 60 seconds with Sam Elcock, Senior Recruitment Consultant, The Field Solutions Group.
